Eliminated from postseason contention long ago, the New York Mets already are thinking ahead to the 2010 season. And the New York Daily News speculates Angels right-hander John Lackey will be on their radar.

Earlier this week, Mets chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon expressed a willingness to do whatever it takes to build "a championship-caliber" team.
